The minimum yards and open spaces, including
lot area per family, required by this chapter for any building existing
at the time of adoption of this chapter or for any building hereafter
erected or structurally altered shall not be encroached upon or considered
as yard or open space requirements for any other building, nor shall
any lot be reduced below the district requirement of this chapter.
On a corner lot in any district where a front yard is required, a yard shall be provided on each street equal in depth to the required front yard on such streets and shall be 150% larger in land area than a standard lot, as set forth in §
139-71C. Corner lots within a Highway Overlay District shall have equal front yard setback as those required for the overlay district. One rear yard shall be provided on each corner lot, and the owner shall designate the rear yard on his application for a zoning permit. The Board of Appeals shall determine the yards and building width of a corner lot of record at the time of the passage of this chapter if the yard requirements would result in a residential structure less than 24 feet wide.
Where two districts abut on the same street
between two intersecting streets and the front yard requirements of
one district are less than those of the other district, and one or
both districts are within the H-O Highway Overlay District, the highway
overlay controls will take precedence over either district.
The height limitations of this chapter shall
not apply to farm structures, silos, belfries, church spires, cupolas,
penthouses and domes which are not used for human occupancy; nor to
chimney's, ventilators, skylights, water tanks and necessary mechanical
appurtenances usually carried above the root level; nor to flagpoles,
monuments, transmission towers and cables, radio and television antennas
or towers and similar structures. Such features however shall be erected
only to such height as is necessary to accomplish the purpose for
which they are intended. No advertising device of any kind whatsoever
shall be inscribed upon or attached to that part of any chimney, tower,
tank or other structure which extends above the roof limitations.
